nonfisherman = fisherman (transparent) = non + fisherman

The adjective is formed by the productive English negative prefix 'non-' attached to the clear base 'fisherman', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not related to or not a fisherman'.

The word nonfisherman joins non- 'not' with fisherman 'someone who fishes', so it describes people, places, or activities that are 'not about fishing'.
